Treacle with Edme stout (pics added)

[Shayler]

Im thinking of using some black treacle with my Edme stout kit,
has anyone done this before, if you have how much treacle did you use?

I added black treacle to my Coopers Brewmaster Irish Stout but it is still conditioning.

It is due for its first try in about 5 days if you can wait for the results.

hi, I've been using syrup for a couple of my belgian brews cos its partially inverted (wotever that means)

I too haven;t tasted them yet, but I was told to use 15-20% more of syrup than other sugar types

If you remember I brewed this using Dark Malt extract 1Kg, No sugar whatsoever and 56g of black treacle!

This beer is great and all for around £18.58 for 40 pints!

thats an amazing 46p per pint. the head is lacing the glass as i drink up!

Great, can you taste the treacle in it?

I have some malt extract from holland and barrett, thinking when I do my stout I will use a jar of that some sugar and some black treacle

[BrewDan]

HOw long would you say it took before it became drinkable, and how long before it got to its best?

I am going to try and get mine going this weekend...at last, wondering it I will be able to have a few come christmas :

 

[Shayler]

Sorry, drinkable after two weeks in the bottle tasted better after a month tho

A friend of mine took one ofmy 1.5L bottles of treacle stout and added it to his 5L minikeg of Woodfordes Wherry.

He tried to convince me to do it with the one bottle of Wherry he gave me but to be honest the Wherry was too nice to change when I only had one!
